Taped Beating of Rodney King
Is the beating of King an aberration? If I, a black man, and some black friends were not stopped, roughed up, handcuffed and ankle-cuffed and detained for two hours while walking back to my car after a late show in Westwood, then I, too, would have thought the beating was an isolated incident. Chief Gates should resign.
